ius schooling may be interrupted
by illness and not infrequently
such childrden have to repeat the
first grade. This is very discour
aging to the child, and often leads
him to believe that he is different
from other children because he
cannot keep up with them. On the
other hand, if a child enters school
in good condition and free from
defects, he has a much better
chance for normal progress and for
happiness in his contacts with other
children.
‘‘Children grow very rapidly dur
ing the first six years of- life, and
during this rapid growth, physical
defects are apt to develop which
may cause permanent damage if
they ar^ not corrected early. For
this reason it is wise to have chil
dren examined by the family phy
sician at least once a year. This
eaxmination should be followed
by early correction of physical de
fects- It is especially important
that children who are entering
school for the first time be examin
ed and the defects corrected as far
as possible. The most frequent
defects among children are dental,
poor nutrition, diseased or enlarg-
girls. while the oiners assemoieu adenoids, and poor

development of the upper jnw. Chil-
dreh with enlpr^^ adenoids are
as a rule unusually susceptible to
colds and other infections of the
nose, throat and lungs. Removal
of enlarged adenoids is a very
simple process.
“Poor nutrition among pre-school
children is most often the result of
poor health habits, such as insuffi
cient rest, irregular meals or un
balanced diet, or it may be the
result of conditions such as diseas
ed tonsils or defective teeth. This
condition should be discovered and
the cause removed, whatever it be.
Only a careful examination by a
physician can determine what ab-
normal condition is interfering'
with the nutrition of the child.
“Acute illness often delays prog- j
ress in school. This is particular
ly true- of the acute infectious dis- j
eases such as measles, diphtheria, |
and scarlet fever. Removal of phy- j
sical defects often increases re
sistance to infection, but every
child should be given the prevent
ive treatments which are available.
No child should enter school with
out being successfully vaccinated
against smallpox and immunized
against diphtheria.”
